Okay so I got a Asus Prime B360M-A, with an i5-8600k. Looking to overclock my cpu, since its Bottlenecking a bit with my new 3060 ti... 

 

But tbh no clue how to overclock, and my motherboard is older so I can't find a good guide. Anyone care to help me with step-step instructions?

The B360 chipset doesn't support CPU overclocking at all.

You need a Z... chipset.
